My 200 series has 275/70 x 18's... No rubbing, and i'd guess you could use 285's without issue.

Lots more information here, not to mention pictures>>> 200 Series Tire and Wheel Database

285/70/18 is a 34" tire which will rub without an AHC lift. 0 offset is way too much and will cause rubbing of its own on different areas (stock is 60mm). Such a low offset wheel will also put a ton of wear on your already 10 year old wheel bearings. I would look for a slightly smaller tire and a much higher offset closer to 50 or 60mm.

Also, 0 offset wheels will not tuck into the fenders properly.

Standard Tundra/Sequoia/Land Cruiser 18" wheels (+60 mm offset) work with 275/65/18 tires (slightly larger than original) without any rubbing. Any larger tires will probably rub.

thanks for bringing that up. I agree. I am not experienced and even I was concerned about the tire being out so far that it would not clear the quarter panel. Everybody worries about rubbing inside the wheel well,,,what about when they stick out so far you're going to be banging up on your quarter panel/outer edge of the wheel well. You're the first person that really brought that up. I got another response just now too and they mentioned sticking with the 18 inch wheel because you can get bigger discs in there instead of going with the 17 inch. I believe I'm going to sell those 17-in rims, as beautiful as they are because I went 5 mm in the wrong direction by mistake...30mm vs stock 25mm. I am just going to stick with the 18" and go for something around 15-20mm offset depending on what is available in an 18. Or I might just stick with the stock 18.

yeah I pretty much decided I'm going to be getting rid of those 17-in rims that I picked up and stick with 18s. I may stick with the stock18"/ 25 mm or maybe I will go for something like a 15 to 20 mm offset,whatever may be available at the time..GX460

Actually, it'll rub regardless. The AHC sensor lift will not address that tire size and that '0' offset is a big issue. Best is 28mm~35mm, but I'm personally going back to my stock 60mm .

This is probably the best explanation you'll find on the interwebs...
From YouTube (Tinkerer's Adventure). His content is fantastic (IMHO).
While this is specifically about a Tundra, it applies to really any truck.
